THREE WAS A CROWD THEN, AND IT IS NOW

There’s a little too much resolve in his voice when he says he’s totally over his marriage and wants to reinvent himself in a happier mode. He was emotionally isolated from his ex-wife for 4 or 5 years, he says. You and I know why, but he doesn’t speak as though he quite gets it – I mean his wife and the randy professor.

We’ve had a scant 6 emails and two half-hour phone calls, and he’s pressuring me to travel from Washington to Boston for a visit. He doesn’t let up on this. The motive cannot be pure admiration and a desire to see the real me. He still has no idea who I am, as the subject of something or someone other than himself rarely arises. His wanting me to visit him is not only premature, it is selfish, and far from the carefree Dating Senior Men situation to which I aspire. I don’t fancy providing arm candy to make the ex jealous.

Nevertheless, I don’t cut off contact with HY because his emails are intellectually stimulating. After the experience of weirdos like LUST FOR BRAINS, I’m willing to overlook the pressure HY exerts just to be in contact with an attractive senior man who’s capable of initiating a discussion of Martin Buber’s I And Thou.
